RE: Why Steemit Is A Giant Circle-Jerk And How To Make It Work In Your Favor
Sadly nowhere.
That said, I'm not aware of anywhere else where you can pay to get such good exposure for your writing, either. And people are incentivized to comment on it.
But to lead people to believe that there's a chance they're going to make any money here without copying Twitch IRL's style is bordering on unethical.
People make money, you deluded yourself into thinking that bots or whales change the fact that people make money without those things every single day.
Someone here is deluding himself but I doubt it's yallapapi. Where do you think the money is coming from?
If this ecosystem would work as advertised than you would have a ton of people reading a mediocre poem (cause what poem isn't mediocre?) and go like "hell yeah, I tip him $ 0,30 for that." And then he would go and upvote another 5 interesting posts for the day. He would donate up to 1 or 2 dollars a day of his OWN money to complete strangers?
7 to 14 $ a week?
30 to 60 $ a month?
Since when are people on the internet so generous that this is happening on a daily basis?
Look at some famous quality youtubers and their patreon accounts. Sometimes they got millions of followers and barely a few hundreds patreons.
Why am I deluded? I contested that people make money here, regardless of style, and I see no reason to think otherwise. Do you know where the "money" is coming from, because we can explore that if you honestly believe that "Investors" is the source.
okay, so where is the money coming from? I'm all ears
From the demand for steem and sbd. The demand itself. What demand? For an open source, transparent and decentralized, censorship proof social media/forums platform, as long as the demand exists value will keep piling up.
The value droped hard since december.

But even if it wouldn't have: Just because some people buy SBD that doesn't mean that a content creator here on steemit gains additional SBD. He only would get additional SBD if someone who bought SBD would transfer it to his steemit, convert it to steempower and upvote the content creator (effectively tipping him with his own money).
But this kind of generosity isn't seen often in the internet.
That's a market correction, show me the 100 MA. Value and rewards are tied together, the more STEEM and SBD is utilized and powered up the more it's value will continue to rise and the more the rewards will increase, and the money I am talking about aren't the day traders, the money I am talking about is the platform itself, and it exists solely because there was a demand for a public forum since time immemorial. Competition will come (EOS) and might take a lot of the users away, even then people could still make money on the platform since rewards are spread around, and it's incentive to curate means it doesn't require patrons but only an audience to make money.
Lol sir, the value has dropped since December just like all other CryptoCurrencies... The market was/is in a market correction. Come back a year from now and SBD will be an incredibly higher value.
You do know Voting Power recharges right? So it's almost like you have infinite $0.03. Now let's say hundred people with VP worth 0.03 vote you. Boom $3.
If one is still not ready to vote others after knowing the fact that they're not losing anything permanently by doing so, then I'd say it's a problem of their selfishness and sadistic nature, rather than this website.
Please what do you mean by copying Twitch IRL's style?
